Goodbye delicious banana cream! I will miss you! You were my favourite! Thank you VariaTEA!

Now, can someone please tell me how to best use my small sample of DT Lime Gelato? Is it best cold brewed, or iced after hot brewing? Or just plain hot? I want to make the most of it!

Hot brewed but then fridged overnight. I wanted to make sure I got all the sweet bits through the hot brew but wanted to drink it cold? Yeah? It was good, but I’m still cranky at T2 and their overingredienting of the last few months.

I had high hopes for this one. It was ok as a hot brew but I wanted more of the sweetness, so threw it into the fridge as a cold brew and it came out really green. Tasted very much like grass in a not good way. Boo.

Better as a cold steep but not enticing enough to restock.

This love of my life is back in my life thanks to Sil! Bought 250g this time so if that doesn’t last me a year, it’s time for self flagellation. I took a Timolino full of cold brewed FI to work today and I have nothing but love. Forever fave.

I’ve ignored the timolino for a few months but that’s also because I’ve been pretty drone-y at work. I’m very excited however to announce that I’ve just gotten a new job and it’s kind of a dream job for me, front desk at a kitschy boutique hotel in the middle of town! I’m going to be SO HAPPY I can barely contain myself, only five shifts left at the call centre and then I’m SO DONE.

Life goals for 2015 include getting the timolino back out and joyfully using it while loving the crap out of my new job. And sipping down all my tea while not restocking because I’ll be poor but happy.

Maybe I’ll just do one more tea order with the call centre CHRISTMAS bonus first…

Grumpy and PMSy tonight so when my housemate (I have one of those now) asked me what I wanted to drink I asked for this knowing it doesn’t matter how much of it I drink now that it’s been added to the standard line at T2. PHEW

A pot of this for a friend in need.

I’d like more flavour from this Monstrositea sample… let’s see how the cold steep in the fridge goes overnight.

I made up a jug of iced tea of this the other day when my friend came around for afternoon tea but it was too stinking hot to have anything hot. I threw in a bunch of actual delicious cherries, and then I drank the leftovers today (I think it was… it was four days ago she was over). WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Actual cherries steeping in this tea made a world of deliciousness.
